In case you’re wondering what was so outrageous about his response, know that the annual median income in the USA is $26,364. Even if you take GDP per capita, which grossly overstates the average income (it just divides GDP by population), you still only get to $48,442. This means, even if I’m four times as well off as the average person in America, I still have to double my income to classify as middle class for Romney.

Now, I don’t blame Romney for not knowing these minute statistics…He was only a few hundred thousand off, after all, not a large sum of money for a multi-millionaire. At least now we know who he’s talking about when he says he’ll help the middle class.
